Zitat des Tages von Frans Lanting:
Tourism is important because it can create sustainable local economies. I'd much rather have 1,000 tourists going up the Tambopata than 1,000 gold miners.
The Galapagos Islands provide a window on time. In a geologic sense, the islands are young, yet they appear ancient.
Life is a force in its own right. It is a new element. And it has altered the Earth. It covers Earth like a skin.
I think a photograph, of whatever it might be - a landscape, a person - requires personal involvement. That means knowing your subject, not just snapping at what's in front of you.
Biodiversity starts in the distant past and it points toward the future.
Nature's my muse and it's been my passion.
I became interested in photography during my first visit to the United States. I was a student at a university in Holland. I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the American West. That was when I learned about the tradition of nature in American photography.
